Pattern formation is a visual understanding of the dynamics of complex systems. Patterns arise in many ways, such as the segmentation of animals, bacterial colonies during growth, vegetation, chemical reactions, etc. In most cases, the long-range diffusion occurs, and the usual reaction-diffusion (RD) model can not capture such phenomena. The nonlocal RD model, on the other hand, can fill the gap. Analytical derivation of the amplitude equations (AE) for an RD system is a valuable tool to predict the pattern selections, in particular, the stationary Turing patterns when they occur. In this paper, we analyze the conditions for the Turing bifurcation for the nonlocal model and also derive the AE for the nonlocal RD model near the Turing bifurcation threshold to describe the reason behind the pattern selections. This derivation of the AE is not only limited to the nonlocal prey-predator model, as shown in our representative example but also can be applied to other nonlocal models near the Turing bifurcation threshold. The analytical prediction agrees with numerical simulation near the Turing bifurcation threshold. Moreover, the analytical and numerical results fit each other well even more remote from the Turing bifurcation threshold for the small values of the nonlocal parameter but not for the higher values.
